The Anoka County Sheriff’s Office hosted a bike helmet event on Tuesday, April 10 to ensure kids are safe.

Representatives from other local police departments also volunteered staff to help with the event.

New helmets were available for a reasonable price of $12 or parents could get their kids’ current helmets adjusted at no charge. Helmets were also available for adults.

At the same time, the Blaine Police Department also hosted a bike helmet event.

If you missed either of these bike helmet events and would like to go to one in the near future, you could go to the Fridley Police Department, 6431 University Ave. N.E., between 4 o 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 24, or you could go to the Blaine Police Department, 10801 Town Square Drive, from 4 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, May 8.
